they can't vote for a black man in the white house. These people deserve what ills will come to them if Romney wins. They both are on social security and medicare. She just started medicare about 2 months ago. She has a heart condition and couldn't get the help she needed because she wasn't on medicare then and now she is. Her husband is going blind. Both are not very educated. You can't talk to them they won't listen. They are dems and voted for Hillary. I will be on medicare effective Jan 2013. I will be in good shape with medicare and Tricare for life. Both government policies. I wish the whole country could have the same no matter what age.
